With over 4.5 million downloads to date, FontCreator is the world's most popular font editor. An advanced feature set makes it the tool of choice for professionals, and its intuitive interface is straightforward enough for users at any expertise level. Create your own fonts, redesign existing characters, add kerning, edit advanced OpenType layout features, and much more.

When you create or open a font, FontCreator displays an overview of all available characters. You can simply add missing characters, or select an existing character, and modify its appearance. You can import (scanned) images of your signature or company logo, or make a font from your own handwriting. With FontCreator you can also fix character code-points, font names, glyph names, kerning pairs, and at all times you can preview your typefaces before installing. OpenType features are preserved upon opening a font. This professional font editor supports both quadratic- and cubic-based contours, and has several smart features to ensure smooth connections where you need them. The validation features help you locate and fix possible outline issues.
